Vampire Weekend

Average rating2.6
If you thought this sounded like something Christopher Moore would write... it is... but it's a complete disappointment.
All the vampire and punk aspects of the book are extremely forced, it's so shoehorned in that it goes right past your eyeballs and is shoved down your gullet. It's abrasive to read and it takes you out of the story because of course the obligatory music and vampire element has to be involved somehow. It's never good. It's always random and sticks out like a sore thumb. To the point of ridiculousness. The world really would be no different if those aspects were removed. The end of the book is pretty bad. Nobody cares that there are vampires, no second thoughts given by people who really should give a second thought. The author took the easy way out in every scenario. There is no real substance to this book, it's just a stupid story that's easy to read. I really wouldn't bother. 1 star for Lola.
